Annette Streyl
Die Steinbildhauerin Annette Streyl (1968 in Münster geboren) strickt die Deutsche Bank und McDonald's, den Reichstag und die Hamburger Galerie der Gegenwart, Ikea Dortmund und den Palast der Republik. Sie strickt hinein den dreifachen Bezug von Macht, Material und Markt und haut einem die im Maßstab 1:100 gefertigten Flauschobjekte mit einem keuschen Lächeln um die Ohren. Streyls Skulpturen hinterfragen mit radikaler Neugierde öffentliche Räume - machen aber mindestens genau so viel Spaß. Phallische Großarchitektur, die zu überblicken vom Boden aus unmöglich ist, macht sie sich untertan, hängt Banktürme wie schlappe Jogginghosen über die Leine und stellt sie als specksteinernde Miniaturen auf ein zimmerhohes Podest, bis sie wieder unsichtbar sind. ¿Machtbestrebungen, die durch Gebäude wirken sollen, sollen auf keinen Fall weibisch, niedlich, süß wirken, sondern einschüchtern¿ (Streyl).

Astounding Knits!
This book compiles the stories, stats, and facts of the world's most amazing knits, from a handknit Ferrari on display at the British Auto Show (knitting the car took 12 miles of yarn) to the American flag knit with utility poles and cranesand everything in between (a plate of sushi; a handknit wedding, including the flowers and the cake; a cozy for a house). This will be a Guinness Book of World Records for knitters. Each entry features color photos, an explanation of how the object was made, and other interesting details, including how much yarn was used, how long it took to make, how many people contributed stitches, the project dimensions, and more.
War Imagery in Women's Textiles
Through the centuries, women have used textiles to express their ideas and political opinions, creating items of utility that also function as works of art. Beginning with medieval European embroideries and tapestries such as the Bayeux Tapestry, this book examines the ways in which women around the world have recorded the impact of war on their lives using traditional fabric art forms of knitting, sewing, quilting, embroidery, weaving, basketry and rug making. Works from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, the Middle and Near East, and Oceania are analyzed in terms of content and utility, and cultural and economic implications for the women who created them are discussed. Traditional women's work served to document the upheaval in their lives and supplemented their family income. By creating textiles that responded to the chaos of war, women developed new textile traditions, modified old traditions and created a vehicle to express their feelings.
Knit
Knit is an exciting and dynamic design area, with new technologies opening up a wealth of creative possibilities for designers, as well as innovative uses of traditional techniques. This international showcase features knit in fashion, art, and design. The book includes beautiful fashion constructions from designers such as Mark Fast, Christian Wijnants, and Sibling. The art section includes Annette Streyl's knitted architectural sculptures and Isobel Berglund's floating installations, as well as public work from guerrilla knitters such as Lauren O'Farrell. Examples of design work include Annette Bugansky's knit-textured ceramics, Claire-Anne O'Brien's knitted furniture, and Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam's woven play structures.
